UNRULY
"Not all rulers like to follow the rules."
Some puzzles invite you to lift a lid.
Unruly does not.
In fact, one of the first things you'll discover is that there isn't one.
Built entirely from reclaimed vintage yardsticks, Unruly takes a familiar workshop tool and transforms it into something wonderfully deceptive. Every inch of the puzzle encourages you to question your assumptions, because the obvious place to begin simply doesn't exist.
Instead, you'll find yourself circling the ...

Torrified ash Blinded
I used torrified ash, sapele and tigerwood to make this copy of Blinded. One of only two made. Torrefied wood (or roasted wood) is hardwood baked in an oxygen-free kiln at high temperatures. This process eliminates moisture, sap, and sugars and creates a highly stable, rot-resistant wood that is lighter, stiffer, darker and less prone to warping. I really like how dark this turned out after a hand rubbed oil and wax finish. Measurements are 5x3.5x4.
